By: Dhrubajyoti Biswas 1) Zero Negative Feedback Amplifier This following data will detail how to build an amplifier having zero negative feedback which implies building a zero component amplifier. The […]
How to Design MOSFET Power Amplifier Circuits – Parameters Explained
In this post I have explained various parameters that must be considered while designing a MOSFET power amplifier circuit. We also analyze the difference between bipolar junction transistors (BJT) and MOSFET characteristics and understand why MOSFETS are more suitable and efficient for power amplifier applications. Contributed by Daniel Schultz Overview When designing a power amplifier […]
LM386 Amplifier Circuit [Working and Application Circuits]
The IC LM386 is a 8-pin tiny power amplifier chip, specially made for operating under relatively low voltage parameters, yet provide considerable amplification. IC LM386 amplifier circuit becomes suitable for applying in small low power audio gadgets like in FM radios, door bells, telephones etc. Let’s begin the IC LM386 amplifier explanation by studying its absolute maximum ratings […]
Cellphone RF Triggered Car Amplifier Auto-Mute Circuit
The following article presents a circuit design which would mute your car amplifier music the moment it detects a cellphone call inside the car, enabling an automatic muting during the situations, and saving the user from the manual hassles. A loud music could be a nuisance while a phone call is being attended or dialed. […]
Common Emitter Amplifier – Characteristics, Biasing, Solved Examples
This configuration is known as common-emitter configuration because here the emitter is used as the common negative terminal for the input base signal and the output load. In other words, the emitter terminal becomes the reference terminal to both the input and output stages (meaning common to both the base and collector terminals). Common emitter […]
